Default Adj. vs. Non Adj Torque arms

Are the benefits of an adjustable torque arm worth the extra cash on a lowered car?
If need be, I'll spend the extra 100 bucks or whatever to get an adjustable one, because I need to get rid of all the wheelhop I'm getting.
What are people usually running here?

Also I'm looking between BMR and UMI...anyone have preferences?

Do you have lower control arm relocation brackets? If not,get them first. I like BMR stuff but I'll let you in on a secret,I broke an Edelbrock T/A,put the stocker back on and have zero problems.

I'm looking at getting relocation brackets as well.
As it is I'm running LCA's, but they're not positioned quite right now that I've lowered my car.
